Adrian Gonzalez and James Loney Both Scratched From Lineup Tonight as Red Sox-Dodgers Trade Becomes More Likely

All, Baseball Jason Lisk August 24th. 2012, 8:04pm

According to the official MLB twitter account, both Adrian Gonzalez of the Red Sox and James Loney of the Dodgers have been scratched from their respective lineups, hours after the Dodgers were awarded a waiver claim on Adrian Gonzalez.

Gordon Edes of ESPN Boston has said that the deal will involve Gonzalez, along with Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, and Nick Punto, in exchange for Loney and multiple prospects. Basically, Boston is going to walk away from Adrian Gonzalez in exchange for doing a NBA-type “get rid of bad contracts” deal where Boston gets to clear Beckett, Crawford and Punto out of town as well.

Whoa.

I’m sure Red Sox Nation will have no thoughts on this.

That guy in Norway that killed 77 people last year only got 21 years in prison. Seems pretty lenient. I guess if you want to pull a Ted Bundy Norway’s the place to do it.

I would have cut off his nuts and led him bleed out in the town square. He went around an island and killed a bunch of kids IIRC

Maybe they decided to go easy on him since it was Muslims, and they figured he was doing the rest of us a favor.

Norway has a max sentence of 21 years. On top of that, his minimum is only 10 years, but he can be held if he’s still considered a danger beyond the 10 or 21 years.

Where Did it ever say the victims were all muslims?
There is no death penalty in norway and he got the maximum sentence available under Norwegian law

I never said it was all muslims, but that’s who he was targeting. And I was unaware of Norwegian law since I’m not Norwegian, so I found that shocking, but have since been informed.

Prosecutors had argued Breivik was insane as he plotted his attacks to draw attention to a rambling “manifesto” that blamed Muslim immigration for the disintegration of European society.

Didn’t even think about that. Absolutely right, though. I can’t remember the weight they charge you with manufacturing for each plant here in Delaware, but there is a minimum weight. Whether it actually weights that or is a fresh sprout with no leafs.

There seems to be a handful of guys who see a resurgence when they get traded. Wonder if A.P.’s liking for those guys could possibly get any lower if they happen to go elsewhere and beast it the fuck up.

Whoa is right.

What I’m hearing (from beat guys on twitter) suggests this isn’t true at all. Prob the rest of the year.
I like the move, I think, being able to unload a ton of weight and change something that just wasn’t working. I applaud the FO having the balls to go for it that dramatically, at the risk of not being a great team next year.
I hope the Red Sox fans appreciate that, and show loyalty to the team, provided the owners do what is logical to continue building.
I have no doubt CC will do well after his injury rehab, and Beckett will be okay in spacious NL West parks, while Gonzo will be a force again. But they weren’t going to here.
Thanks for 2007 Beckett. Thanks for always being accountable through your struggles Carl. Good luck in LA.

I’m fascinated by it. And a lot less horrified than I should be because I can’t see how the Dodgers would take on that money AND throw in prospects. Hopefully they don’t read twitter till the deal is done.

Whatever they do in LA wasn’t happening here. I can’t stress enough how impressed I am by the move on the Red Sox part, assuming it happens and the deal is close to what’s reported. It’s tough to admit mistakes. I’m shocked the Dodgers would take on all that money, but I do think all three will help the team going forward.

This guy got acquitted of ass raping his wife because the lady that drove his wife to the emergency room said the wife told her that she only whispered (being the key word) stop to her husband. So in the process of business time he was unable to hear her, and the jury chose not to convict.
